HOLLYWOOD—Jason Statham has been known as an action star for as long as I can remember. This is the guy who is notorious for putting a beating on the good guys and the bad guys in cinema. His latest flick, “Wrath of Man” proves why Jason Statham is synonymous with the term, ‘Action Star.’ His latest outing is really a tale of revenge people and when I say revenge I mean just that, but it loses points for not fully pushing the envelope based on its title.
Guy Ritchie directs Statham is this tale of revenge that finds Patrick, better known as ‘H’ does his best to avenge the death of his son Dougie (Eli Brown). It’s a classic revenge tale that becomes a bit convoluted for me at points that lost my interest. Why is that? It attempts to be smarter than what it needs to be. H infiltrates Fortico Security, an armored truck company that is known for handling and transporting a ton of money. There are elements of a heist flick in “Wrath of Man,” but they don’t fully play out as the viewer expects.
